What a year! It’s around this time of year when I would be heading to Dreamforce (Salesforce’s biggest event of the year) to meet up with students and present some ... The post The Salesforce Learning Week! first appeared on Cloud Architecture.
The Salesforce platforms are huge and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the changes. These Salesforce capability maps are based on my own experience but if you find any gaps please let me know!! I’d love to make them as complete as I can. Updates: 10/Jun/2020 – Thanks to Bonny Hinners & Mark ... The post The Salesforce Capability Map first appeared on Cloud Architecture.
So Anup and I have decided to create a new Salesforce podcast called the ‘Salesforce Posse Podcast’. We’ve just launched our first podcast episode last week and so far, to our surprise, it’s been more than just our parents listening in! We’re going to be experimenting with the format a bit over the next couple ...
So Salesforce has just announced pricing for myTrailhead at $25/user/month but only as an add-on to a Salesforce Enterprise license so can come out on the pricy side. Keir Bowden has created a great blog all about myTrailhead, but for me, the pricing is (kinda) typical Salesforce, and I have some ideas why they have ...
I’m a trustee of a Charity, Technical Architect at NetStronghold, organiser of London’s Calling, create and support my online Salesforce courses with now over 20,000 students… ugh, dabble in the financial markets, have a 7-month-old son, support the Salesforce community, not forgetting having some fun in-between… I can get quite busy and can get distracted ...
If you work in a regulated industry like banking or even if you don’t, understanding the risk that your IT systems pose is an important one. If Salesforce is implemented correctly I believe it can pose less of a risk in some areas than traditional applications. But AppExchange apps could expose your precious data to other ...
In 2017 I was presenting at IndiaDreamin one of the largest Salesforce community events in the world. Check out my video of the journey!
I get a lot of questions asking how to start a career in Salesforce. First off is you need to set a goal and plan on achieving that goal. Without a plan, you won’t achieve success, I also get a lot of messages generally from three groups of people: Those who are in IT and ...
A little while ago I visited the great city of Austin (my first time in Central America!). Thanks so much to everyone who made the trip so enjoyable but I stopped off to catch up with Spanning Backup. They have a great Google, Salesforce & Office 365 backup solution. I challenged them to do a ...
Salesforce Saturdays were started (I believe) by Stephanie Herrera who would meet up with like-minded Salesforce people to learn the platform on a Saturday. She started meeting in coffee shops and slowly as the group increased in size and they would hunt out a bigger coffee shop. Since then Salesforce Saturdays have been setup across the globe as ...
What I love about Salesforce community events like French Touch Dreamin’ is the fact they make them their own. In a multi-national world I do like those little things that make a regional event a little bit special. For me at French Touch, it was the Beef Bourguignon
I’m now sitting in New Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport ready to fly back to London. Actually, ready wouldn’t be the correct word, I want my Indian adventure to continue
It’s the final day to nominate someone to be a Salesforce MVP. If you know someone that is helping the community either online or offline via user groups etc nominate them today! Also I posted a blog a couple of years ago on how I became a Salesforce MVP. Also be sure to check out ...
Since writing this post I have actually decided to move my courses off A Cloud Guru and you can now access them from Udemy. ‘A Force Guru’ has been more successful than I could ever believe since launching it earlier in the year, thanks SO MUCH for all those people and companies who have supported ...
I had the honour of speaking at the Salesforce World Tour this year with the amazing Stefanie Bialas. She showed us the power of “The Power of One”, this is her blog on really how powerful it is! Superpower Salesforce with the Power of One Yeaahh, you’ve managed to build some excellent reports monitoring the pipeline of ...
A couple of weeks ago I was at CeBIT one of “the largest computer expo’s in the world”. At its height during the dot-com boom around 800,000 people would descend to Hanover in Germany to see the latest tech. Since then things have changed and people generally get their dose of tech via the internet ...
So Monday night was a big night! We had none other than Mike Rosenbaum (@mike945778) who is in charge of the Salesforce platform including Sales, Service and Lightning. We asked him a load of questions that the community had come up with and here are some of his answers. I’ll be putting the full video up ...
Salesforce has announced that S-Controls are coming back to Salesforce classic. For those who don’t know what S-Controls are, they were the technology before VisualForce and allowed you to create webpages and use the Salesforce JavaScript APIs to communicate with Salesforce (hence the S in S-Controls). Around 10 years ago Salesforce stopped Salesforce customers from ...
Twice a year Salesforce looks for worthy people to become Salesforce MVPs. MVPs are people from the community that have demonstrated Salesforce expertise, leadership, responsiveness, and advocacy and with around 160 worldwide and it’s a growing group! There are currently around 160 MVPs worldwide and I was lucky enough to become an MVP back in January 2012, ...
I have contacted Salesforce Security for comment, but at the moment I’m waiting on a reply. 29 March Update – Salesforce Security replied saying they were looking into it but then never replied again, which was disappointing. I did speak to Salesforce Security at CeBIT last week, we worked through the risk and there would be ...
I’m totally overjoyed to announce that we’ve uploaded the majority of the sessions for London’s Calling 2017, the largest Salesforce Community event in Europe. I can now watch all those sessions I missed :), like what was Todd wearing and why? a question I’ve been itching to find out
So I wonder if anyone can answer a question that has been bugging me for months… So Salesforce records breakout sessions at Dreamforce, and for the last couple of years, I’ve been doing a lot of theatre sessions, which don’t get recorded. So I was a little bit excited to know that one of my Dreamforce ...
